447523 2006-04-19 04:06:00 I just learned that TM:Nations - a great game - has StarForce copy protection bundled with it - thanks Nadeo! :yuck:

I dont know about you guys but anything that's installed without my permission and can potentially f**k with my system I would class as malware - so I removed the game and its bundled treat... :annoyed:

447524 2006-04-19 04:12:00 What? I thought it was free? Why would you have copy protection on a free game?

StarForce doesn't bother me because I havn't bothered finding out about it. I just install games willy nilly and things are ok.

447525 2006-04-19 04:18:00 Don't ask me man - sounds like a conspiracy theory in the makings... :lol:

Took quite a while to dig all the crap out of the registry... :mad:

Ohh, potential trouble I'd say. Do you download things willy nilly too and sort out any potential malware problems later?
Or perhaps its just luck and you haven't had a Starforce game yet. It IS nasty.

447528 2006-04-19 07:00:00 I have games with Starforce protection on them. No problems here.

447529 2006-04-19 07:13:00 it has starforce protection because it is basically a cut down version of TM:sunrise and therefore the .exe if left unprotected could be used to crack TM:sunrise which as far as I am aware is still uncracked lagbort (5041)
447530 2006-04-19 08:41:00 Its cracked, as are all Starforce games.

Seems the tide is turning though, Some devs have been taking heed of the wishes of their customers (I just checked, Hell has indeed frozen over) Oblivion for example was meant to ship with the latest version of starforce but was dropped at the last minute.
